Authentication | PPTP provides an authenticated communication tunnel between |
Scheme | a client and a gateway by using a user ID and password. The |
| authentication scheme is the method the CyberGuard SG |
| appliance uses to challenge users wanting to establish a PPTP |
| connection to the network. The remote client must be set up to |
| use the selected authentication scheme. |
| ∙ MSCHAPv2 is the most secure. MSCHAPv2 plus data |
| encryption is strongly recommended. This keeps your |
| data private as well as providing secure authentication. |
| ∙ CHAP is less secure |
| ∙ PAP (although more common) is even less secure. |
| ∙ None means that no username/password authentication |
| is required (not recommended). |
|
|

Database | password received from the dialin client. |
